Fertilizers are an essential part of a healthy lawn. Each fertilizer contains many nutrients a lawn needs to be healthy. The three main ingredients in all types of fertilizers are Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Soluble Potash (potassium). They are measured in a percentage based on weight. A 25-2-5 fertilizer will be 25% Nitrogen, 2% Phosphorus, and 5% Soluble Potash. Nitrogen is essential as it encourages foliage growth. Phosphorus is essential to the lawn because it helps promote strong, healthy roots as well as setting flower buds. Potash contributes to the overall health and strength of plants. When a fertilizer contains all 3 nutrients, it is called a complete fertilizer. Incomplete fertilizers are also available if you only need strength in certain areas, such as a 0-15-15. This fertilizer contains no Nitrogen by weight, only phosphorus and potash. Other nutrients included may be as follows: Calcium, iron, magnesium, and others. A soil test is the best way to determine what your lawn is lacking. If your pH is too high or too low, even if the nutrient is available, the grass may not be able to access the nutrient. |
